Though we've kicked the Chargers' asses both before and after Spygate, I note.

No you haven't. You barely eked out an OT victory in 2001, lost to SD in 2002, got blown out by us in Foxboro (41-17) in 2005, and you were a Marlon McCree fumble away from losing to us in the playoffs in '06. And that was DURING the signal-taping era.

After Spygate, you just squeaked by an injury-ravaged Chargers team with its two best players hobbled in the AFC title game, lost 30-10 to us the following year, beat us by 3 in 2010, and by 14 in 2011.

The Patsies have been extremely fortunate to win most of those games, even WITH the arsenal of taped signals.
